Matskási, I., Mészáros, F. , Murai, É.; Dudich, A.: On the parasite fauna of Microtus oeconomus Pallas, 1776 ssp. mehelyi Éhik, 1928 in Hungary (Trematoda, Cestoda, Nematoda, Siphonaptera)

A) Internal parsites of Microtus oeconomus mehelyi in Hungary Trematoda Notocotylidae Lühe, 1909 Notocotylus noyeri Joyeux, 1922 Localities: Ásványráró, Kis-Balaton. Location: Intestinum tenue. Intensity: 5 - 42 specimens. Psilostomatidae Odhner, 1913 Psilotrema simillimum (Mühling, 1898) Localities: Győrladamér, Fertőhöz. Location: intestinum tenue, intestinum crassum. Intensity: 1-5 specimens. This species occurs in birds (Anseriformes) and small mammals (Rodentia) living in aquatic biotopes. This is the first report from Microtus oeconomus.Cestoda Taeniidae Ludwig, 1886 Taenia mustelae (Gmelin, 1790) - metacestodessyn.: T. tenuicollis Rudolphi, 1819 Localities: Sopron Kis-Tómalom, Fertőújlak, Hanság Fehértó, Hanság Barbacsi-tó, Vámosszabadi. Location: in the liver tissue. Intensity: 1-4 Cysticercus per intermediate hosts. Definitive hosts of T. mustelae are Mustela nivalis and M. erminea, distributed all over Hungary. The Cysticercus larvae are frequent in all microtid species (intermediate hosts). In the M. oeconomus populations examined, this species was the most common tapeworm. Prevalence in M. oeconomus 8.3%, in Hungarian Microtidae material (3600 voles examined) 3% (Murai 1982). Taenia taeniaeformis (Batsch, 1786) - metacestodes syn.: Hydatigera taeniaeformis (Batsch, 1786) Locality: Kisbajcs. Location: on the liver surface. Intensity: one strobilocercus. Definitive hosts of T. taeniaeformis are domestic and wild cats. Intermediate hosts are all microtid and murid rodents. The prevalence in M. oeconomus was very low (one case). Hymenolepididae Fuhrmann, 1907 Vampirolepis asymmetrica (Janicki, 1904) syn.: Hymenolepis asymmetrica Janicki, 1904 Locality: Kis-Balaton. Location: the terminal-part of intestinum tenue. Intensity: one specimen. V. asymmetrica is the most important Hymenolepididae parasite of microtines, living in mountain forests and in dampy woods of lowlands and hilly country. From M. oeconomus this is the first record. Anoplocephalidae Cholodkowsky, 1919 Anoplocephaloides dentata (Galli-Valerio, 1905) syn.: Paranoplocephala brevis Kirschenblat, 1938. Localities: Kis-Balaton, Fertőújlak, Hanság Fehértó. Location: caecum and the terminal-part of intestinum tenue.
